stretching from the Middle East to Europe. President Obama arrived

tonight. Tomorrow he and representatives from 60 countries

will sit down at the Celtic Manor resort. Touching down. Tonight, the

first serving American president to come to Wales. The world will watch

as he and other leaders meet at the NATO summit. It has required months

of preparation. The Ryder Cup, we had ten years to

prepare for that. Thus, less than a year. Both hugely important but

totally different spectrums. This is a security with 60 world leaders.

Totally different to the Ryder Cup. A few miles away this school appears

Everybody is getting ready, including protesters at a peace

camp. They have policemen guarding the

motorway. They were talking about invading the motorway and stopping

The reason for the activity? So that Western leaders can agree foreign

policy. The NATO Secretary General was first to arrive, at Cardiff

airport earlier. We will discuss Iraq, Syria, the

situation in the Middle East and North Africa. Overall you see an arc

of crises surrounding NATO. This summit will be conducted in a very

efficient manner. When it comes to substance that will produce

significant results. The biggest political gathering the

UK has ever hosted is upon us. 60 government leaders with thousands of

staff. Journalists are on their way. People will have seen the level

security, it is to be expected. And although it is being held in Newport

will reflect well on the whole of Wales.

Russia and the Ukraine crises, turmoil in the Middle East,

withdrawn from Afghanistan, the world awaits what NATO will decide

to do about those challenges. With warnings of congestion on the

roads you can get the latest information about any disruption on

discussions will take those in the coming days.

My colleagues have come to the end of our time with these people. There

will remain light and we should see some mist and fog forming.

Low-level, but you can see the best of the sunshine is to the West. The

cloud is lingering. For the rest of the UK, the West enjoys the best of

the sunshine. To the east, cloudy, but brightening up for a time.

Showers across Northern Ireland and Scotland. That is a head of a

weather front sinking south and east would. Tomorrow afternoon, no sign

of showers, just a case of chasing cloud. The best of the brightness is

across Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion. Maybe even Conway. Tomorrow night

the temperatures will remain on the mild side but where skies are clear

they could dip. By the time we go into Friday, a little bit more

cloud. Hints of brightness the further west you are. Fuelling
